SUNDAY: Church was very good. Unfortunately, Glenda slipped on ice in the parking lot and fell. When I got to my seat, she was holding an ice pack on her knee. After church we gathered to pray for her, along with two elders. A couple of the ladies asked about going to lunch but I said I did not think we should since the heavy snow predicted was supposed to start at one p.m. It was not snowing at all when I left church. I decided to get some take out food for lunch. I got a meal at KFC and a drink at Paneras. After lunch I took a nap. I called Linda Porter in the early evening. She is doing well. We prayed together for her sister Elaine, and her alcoholic son Alan, and Melanie (her daughter who will not speak to her). I also called Glenda to see how she is doing. She has sone pain in her knee and her daughter suggested that she use a walker for a few days. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________...

SUNDAY the 11th of January: Church was very good. After, Marlene, Linda, Glends, Carol and I went to lunch at Applebees. I ordered the chicken sandwich special but I neglected to ask for grilled rather than "crispy" chicken so my meal was not as good as it usually is. I had broccoli instead of french fries. Before our meals came, Linda, Marlene and I figured out some problems on our cell phones. Linda and I had been unable to text each other because she had my cell and home phone in the wrong spot. Marlene just needed to update numbers. I spent the rest of the day at home. I worked on homework for Tuesday morning Bible study, took a nap, then read the first chapter of Hebrews and Ezekiel and then watched a video of the first chapter of Ezekiel. Then I found some 1970s worship music on youtube. I spent the evening watching PBS. First, the start of a new season of MISS SCARLET, then the first episode of Season Six of ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL, and then Season O...

SUNDAY: I watched MEET THE PRESS this morning before leaving for church because I was inerested in what might be said by both sides regarding the Trump administrations arresting the leader of Venezuela and his wife. Church was good. When it was over, five of us (me, Marlene, Lori, Glenda and Carol) went to the OLIVE LEAF for lunch. I had a burger and seet potato fries, and then I went to PANERA and got a drink. When I got home, I took my trash out to the street and shoveled a path down the middle of the sidewalk. I decided that I should let Bonnie McDermott Olscamp that Barb had passed away, since Barb, Bonnie, Chicky and I were friends in junior high school. However, a little bit of research led me to find out that Bonnie passed away in December of 2024. I called Elaine to tell her about both deaths. She knew both Barb and Bonnie. I found the movie TELLING LIES IN AMERICA on Pluto TV. I found a sympathy card and also a picture of Barb and I taken several years ago, and got t...

SUNDAY December 28th: I spent the entire day at home. I did not do much of anything. Andrea messaged me that she is still not feeling great, her cough has returned and she said she would not be going to church. Later on, Lori messaged me saying that there were hardly any people in church. Peggy called and we talked for a few minutes. They went to a TITANIC EXHIBIT in Schenectedy. She told me that HIGH WINDS are expected tomorrow afternoon here in Lockport. The only time I stepped out my front door was to take my trash and collectibles to the street. MONDAY: I got out of bed close to eight a.m. to find that both my trash and collectibles containers were tipped over. The trash truck was closeby and the guy turned my trash can upright and dumped it in the truck. I quickly got my boots and coat on and went out and took my collectible container out behind the house, there is plenty of room for the next two weeks, and then I started picking up the stuff that had blown out of other...

SATURDAY the 21st: When I woke up feeling lousy, I decided to try to make an appointment at WELLCARE, the local urgent care center on Transit. I made an appointment for one forty. I made CHEx MIX in the morning. I left early for my appointment and went to PANERA for a drink. There was a long line of people waiting to order so after a while, I grabbed a large cup and and got a drink at the self serve spot. Then I went to WELLCARE, where I had to wait a long time before going in. I was praying that I would not get the same male nurse that Andrea had, the one who does not touch or go near the patient. Anyways, the female PA said I have a sinus infection and called in a script to WalGreens. I figured it would not be ready for a while, and when I drove by Walgreens I saw about six cars waiting in the drive through lane. I texted Peg to tell her that I will not be in church tomorrow, and she called and asked me if I needed anything. She agreed to pick my antibiotic up. It was not long before...

SUNDAY: I was getting ready for church when Andrea texted me and asked if I wanted to go to the WURLITZER BUILDING in North Tonawanda for a Christmas Market. I told her Lori and I were planning on going out to lunch after church, and she said Lori could come, too. I texted Lori and she said she wanted to go. I was going to ask Jan but she did not come to church, so I figure she does not feel well. After church, we headed to North Tonawanda. We decided to stop for lunch at the TIM HORTONS near the Wurlitzer Building. We had sandwiches and ate inside. Then we went to the Wurlitzer Building. It was FIVE DOLLARS entrance fee, but they gave the three of us the family rate of ten dollars, which I paid. We all enjoyed the craft show. Andrea purchased several items. Lori bought a couple of things and I purchased a mix to make DILL DIP. We decided to check out the "chocolate" side of the building. Lori wanted a drink and Andrea was thinking of getting something. I sa...
